 * 1) Provide a rational for why PBL will be more successful methodology than conventional means of lecture and large class discussion.
 * 2) Provide possible PBL projects for each of the subjects taught: math, social studies, science and Antiquan language arts.
 * 3) Provide either a short jingle to help the Antiquans remember project based learning or an illustration that would help the Antiquans remember project based learning.

Sung to the tune of "Do Your Ears Hang Low?"

Are your projects dull Are they any good at all Take a driving question and Find the need to know Is there inquiry Or any innovation Are your projects dull

Do your students have a voice Do your students make a choice Are you giving proper feedback And the chance to revise What tech tools aren't you using 'Cause your students they are losing PBL is the way to go

Wiki's, Blogs, and Animoto No more death by powerpoint No more overhead projectors Social networking's here Do you get what we are saying Technology is grand Is the mission clear?

Do you have your outside audience? Invite community together To see amazing work that's done To make education better We are all working harder To share knowledge with our youth Cause the future is now!!!
